Clear the old record so the next step can happen.
An active Ejari stays on the property until it’s cancelled — and it can block a new tenant from registering, hold up a move-out, or stop DEWA being closed in your name.
Either the tenant or the landlord can cancel an Ejari. You can do it yourself for free in the Dubai REST app, or for around AED 40 + VAT at a trustee centre. We handle it for you — checking the record, filing the cancellation, and confirming it’s cleared — for a flat AED 199 all-in.
